freak180 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Maybe a concept of what it might look like perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfirth Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Maybe a concept of what it might look like perhaps? If you translate the Chinese, it says it's a conceptual design. So not real, but very nice hardware design. Side note, look at the Windows logo on the home button... Windows 8 perspective version of the logo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calimike Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Windows Phone 8 "Apollo" build 8.0.9662.0 is now recorded in the app and visible under the device statistics sections. The obvious question though is it real or fake? From our discussions with the developer, Scott Peterson, it's a bit difficult to "spoof" the check on the device ID, though we certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility either. For that reason, we're treating this with a grain of salt.Windows Phone 8, expected to be announced this summer and released later in 2012, is the first major overhaul of the OS since it's release in 2010. Dual core CPU support in addition to additional display resolutions, NFC and more advanced features are all expected to be introduced with the OS, though exact details are scarce at the time. http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-8-supposedly-build-shows-social-networking-app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhillrider Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I really wish some of these companies would hire some of these guys who make these renderings. most of them look excellent. like this paticular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalseAgent Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Seeing all these renderings, I think Nokia could use it's N9 design forever! Muhammad Farrukh 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted April 11, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2012 I find the idea of the tiles supporting landscape mode as way more interesting in that shot than the hardware design, which is just a tweaked 900. Also the WPCentral artical on WP8 linked above has an update that says that MS has started dogfooding WP8 internally as of March 30th. If true then it's pretty close to ready I'd say, probably RC status. I wonder if MS will try to beat out Apple to a new OS release, the rumors of a new iPhone in October could be true seeing how last time we only got a tweaked iPhone 4 really. I was going to bet an another November release for WP but maybe MS is aiming for September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Windows Phone 8 could be that similar to Windows 8 that its current level of completion is similar to, if not the same as, the completion level of Windows 8. I could be very wrong :p but that would make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, there was that other rumor that said Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 development was moving in lock step with each other. So the idea that WP8 is close to RC would be true since Win8 is also close to RC status as we already know. If MS pulls this off we could be looking for a flood of new software at or around the same 2-3 months. Calum 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammad Farrukh Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Its fake, but I think the home screen will be something like that. Grouping will be awesome too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted April 11, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2012 I think the best thing would be the ability to group tiles under one master tile so it's kinda like folders but not folders, heh. One of the things people bring up is that if you keep adding to the start screen that it'll get too long and you'd have to scroll a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfirth Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Heck, I'd be happy just with those circle things like the default for Windows 8 I agree. That, along with some other features from Windows 8 like grouping. And zooming out to see a high-level view of the groups, just like Win8. Looking forward to more WP7 coming to Win8, and Win8 coming to WP8 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchthisspace Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That concept/mocking phone looks really sleek and what I'd love to see out of a Windows Phone. Having different coloured tiles looks a lot better (in my opinion) than just one colour for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psionicinversion Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Apparently the ability to have pictures for the tiles is coming in wp8 so that bit is real also having folders for groups of stuff in is a good idea which im sure is coming to seeing as MS is catching up with the features in iOS and android although a hell of alot faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
